Not acetogenic. not-comparable
"Though beyound the scope of this chapter, it should be mentioned that nonacetogenic bacteria (e.g., sulfate-reducing bacteria) and members of the domain Archaea (e.g., methanogens) use metabolic pathways that are very similar to the acetyl-CoA pathway for either the assimilation of CO2 (i.e., carbon) into biomass or the oxidation of acetate [64,64]; thus, the acetyl-CoA pathway is not restricted to acetogens and has broad biological significance [49]."
